Autorenporträt
Anglo-Irish author and playwright Edward John Moreton Drax Plunkett, 18th Baron of Dunsany, FRSL (24 July 1878 - 25 October 1957), better known as Lord Dunsany, was born on July 24, 1878, and died on October 25, 1957. During his lifetime, he wrote hundreds of short stories, plays, novels, and articles and put them out in more than 90 books. In the 1910s, most people who spoke English knew him as a great writer. Today, The King of Elfland's Daughter (1924), a fantasy book, and his first book, The Gods of Peg¿na, which is about a made-up pantheon, are his most famous works. A lot of reviewers think that his early work paved the way for the magic genre. He was born in London as the heir to an old Irish peerage. He spent some of his childhood in Kent and most of his adult life at Dunsany Castle near Tara, which may be Ireland's oldest home. Along with W. B. Yeats and Lady Gregory, he helped the Abbey Theatre and some other writers. He was Ireland's best at chess and gun, and he liked to travel and hunt. He came up with Dunsany's chess, an irregular game. After a while, Trinity College Dublin gave him an honors doctorate.
